Original air date: 3/22/17. When is Enough Enough? Examining Information Disclosure Statements & the Duty of Disclosure to Stay in Compliance & Out of Trouble

 

Identifying what, when, and how to disclose information to the USPTO to comply with the duties of disclosure, candor, and good faith is not always a simple task.  Inequitable conduct issues are often intertwined with duty of disclosure and duty of candor mishaps.  In this webinar we will hear from the litigation, prosecution, and USPTO Office of Enrollment and Discipline perspectives.  Our experienced panel will take a deep dive into these issues and examine the current standard for the duty of disclosure, what to include in information disclosure statements, when to file them, and how to steer clear of situations that will earn you a letter from the USPTO Office of Enrollment and Discipline.  Presented by: William Covey of US Patent and Trademark Office; Kenneth Adamo of Kirkland & Ellis LLP; Mercedes Meyers of Drinker Biddle.
